Our Mission

AIRE's mission is to deliver timely and accurate information on all regulatory matters affecting the aviation industry. The association represents its members and facilitates their access to EU and international institutions, bodies, and regulators.


AIRE offers a platform for airlines to exchange information, share expertise, and develop collaborative initiatives. It also provides a network for consultation on operational and technical issues. Thus, AIRE is dedicated to promoting best practices and driving improvements in efficiency, safety, and sustainability across the aviation sector.
Through advocacy and active participation, AIRE works to raise awareness of relevant policy decisions and regulatory frameworks affecting the aviation sector. The association organizes frequent meetings and workshops to keep its members informed about the latest industry trends and regulatory changes.

By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among its members, AIRE contributes to the continuous advancement and resilience of the aviation industry.

Our Vision

By actively engaging with policymakers and industry stakeholders, AIRE seeks to promote forward-thinking policies that foster innovation, improve sustainability, and enhance the competitiveness of the sector. Through these efforts, AIRE aims to drive meaningful regulatory reforms that contribute to the long-term development and growth of the aviation industry.

Our history

Founded in 1971, AIRE is the oldest association of airlines and aviation stakeholders in Brussels. For over five decades, AIRE has steadfastly served as a vital hub for collaboration and advocacy within the aviation industry.


The governance structure of AIRE is designed to ensure comprehensive participation and transparency. All member airlines are actively involved in the decision-making process, thereby fostering a collaborative environment where every voice is heard and valued. This democratic approach not only strengthens the Association but also enhances its ability to effectively address the dynamic challenges and opportunities faced by the aviation industry.


Our Association extends a warm welcome to airlines both within and beyond the European Union, encompassing a diverse array of business models and sizes. This inclusivity underscores our commitment to representing a broad spectrum of perspectives and interests within the aviation sector.

Through its unwavering dedication to excellence, AIRE continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of aviation, advocating for sustainable growth, and promoting innovation within the sector.
